Manchester United is intensifying its search for a new goalkeeper ahead of the forthcoming 2024-2025 season, with recent reports suggesting Real Sociedad’s Alex Remiro has caught the eye of the “Red Devils.”
According to Spanish sports daily Marca, United’s scouting team has turned its attention to Remiro, who has impressed with stellar performances both in La Liga and for the Spanish national team.
The potential pursuit of the Spanish international signals a probable departure for current United goalkeeper André Onana.
The Cameroonian shot-stopper has faced criticism following a lackluster debut season at Old Trafford, failing to live up to expectations since his high-profile transfer from Inter Milan.
Onana’s stint at United has been marred by inconsistent performances, with the 25-year-old conceding 79 goals and managing just 12 clean sheets in 47 appearances across all competitions.
These figures starkly contrast with his earlier successes, notably during his time with Inter Milan in the 2022-2023 Champions League campaign.
Despite being tied to a contract until 2028, speculation is rife regarding Onana’s potential departure from Manchester United during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The English press has been quick to highlight his underwhelming performances, fueling rumors of an imminent exit.
With Remiro emerging as a prime target, United appears poised to bolster its goalkeeping department, aiming to address its defensive vulnerabilities ahead of the new season.
However, Onana’s uncertain future looms large, with several English clubs reportedly expressing interest in securing his services.
As the transfer window approaches, United’s pursuit of Remiro and Onana’s potential departure underscore the club’s commitment to fortifying its squad in pursuit of success both domestically and in European competitions.
